Vandeweghe was the subject of one of the weirdest code violations in history, after blowing up about a lack of bananas on court in her first round match.

Australia's No.1 male player Kyrgios often comments on the poor behaviour of players and has quite the track record himself.

He was booted off the ATP tour for eight weeks and fined $50,000 in 2016 for tanking, having spent the back end of 2015 with a suspended four-week ban hanging over his head for sledging French Open champion Stan Wawrinka.

Kyrgios also escaped with only a code violation when a racquet he slammed into the ground bounced into the stands at Wimbledon in 2015.

Gavrilova meanwhile overcame the racquet-throwing incident to progress to a second-round match against Kristyna Pliskova or Renata Zarazua.

"It was so hot, especially in the first set, but I looked at the weather forecast and so I knew it that after an hour or so the weather would drop down," Gavrilova said.

"I was just trying to hang in there for the first set and trying to be really tough battling it out. And when the weather went down I felt much better."

Australian Arina Rodionova also made it through to the next round, leading 6-2 1-0 when Kateryna Kozlova retired.
